The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1887-12-29
The M. E. BaZa ar.

Crescent Rink last week was success
in every particular. The time for pre-
pairing the building was remarkably
short, there having been theatrical
entertainment in the room on Wednes-
day evening, and the Bazaar beginning
ON Thursday evening. But the room
was tastefully arranged, and the
booths presented a decidedly pretty
appearance. The only purchased
right for booth, we believe, was that
of Mrs. N. J. Graham, which was filled
with the wares in which she deals,
glassware, toys, and the like. Then
there was booth for the sale Of con-
fections, one for the sale of paper
goods, japanese booth, lunch
booth, booth for fancy articles, and
a side attraction Of some sort, kind
Of museum. The most striking fea-
ture, perhaps, was the "Ice Palace"
where ice cream and other dainties
were sold. A part of the hall was oc-
cupied as restaurant, where excellent
meals were served. The ladies all
worked, under the leadership of Mrs.
Rudisill, with will and determina-
ton that would not stop short of sue
cess. Every visitor to the hall was
made welcome, and to feel that those
present were friends. Each evening
was taken up for the most part by
an entertainment, the general pro-
gram Of which we published last
week, though there were some omis-
sions. The best musical talent of
Jackson was interested, and such ex-
cellent leaders as M. D. Jones and DIR.
Joseph Jones did their full share
toward entertaining the people. AS
you entered the hall you were greeted
by the merry chatter Of ladies voices,
and there was an air of life and busi-
ness about the place that made the
conservative man mechanically clutch
at his pocket-book Look where you
would, and the bright eyes and pleas
ant smiles of the ladies warned you
that the best passport to favor was to
invest literally And the patrons
were liberal. Those attending entered
into the spirit Of the occasion. and the
good purpose for which the fair was
held, and the best of order was main
tanned, and a general desire manifest
ed to help the cause along.
Those engaged in this enterprise
have reason to be proud Of their sue
cess. It was undertaken right in the
busy season preceding the holidays,
and grave doubts were entertained as
to the possibility of its success. The
ladies of Jackson are not the kind to
be discouraged. When they decided
to hold the Fair, that decided the sue
cess Of it, for it was made too attract
